Erythrochiton brasiliensis Nees & Mart.[2]
Erythrochiton delitescens Morton[3]
Erythrochiton fallax Kallunki[4]
Erythrochiton giganteus Kaastra & A.H.Gentry
Erythrochiton gymnanthus Kallunki[5]
Erythrochiton hypophyllanthus Planch. & Linden[6]
Erythrochiton lindenii Planch. & Linden[7]
Erythrochiton macrophyllum Makoy ex Hook.[8]
Erythrochiton macropodum K.Krause[9]
Erythrochiton odontoglossus Kallunki[10]
Erythrochiton trichanthus Kallunki[11]

Many species of this genus are characterised by having epiphyllous flowers, which emerge from the leaf itself, rather than the more usual site of a leaf axil, a plant axis, or its inflorescence.[13]
